# The Local Government (Consequential Provisions) (Scotland) Order 1997, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends section 56 of the Transport Act 1968 so as to include Strathclyde Passenger Transport Authority (“SPTA”) as one of the passenger transport authorities defined for the purposes of that section as a local authority. This allows the SPTA to make capital grants in connection with the provision, improvement or development of public passenger transport facilities of benefit to the Authority’s area.
